Mobile App Maintenance Services

Stable apps through every release

Every OS release, SDK deprecation, and store policy change puts a live app at risk. We monitor, update, and fix your iOS and Android app on a predictable schedule.

When you need mobile app maintenance

A mobile app starts aging on release day. Apple and Google change platform requirements every year, and unmaintained apps fall further behind with each cycle.

01

When OS updates break features

Each major iOS and Android release changes APIs, permissions, and background behavior. Features that worked last year can fail after users update their phones. Without regular compatibility testing, you learn about it from store reviews.

02

When store deadlines approach

Google Play and the App Store set yearly requirements for target API levels and SDK versions. Miss a deadline and you cannot ship updates, including urgent fixes. On Google Play, outdated apps can also become unavailable to users on newer devices. 

03

When crashes go unnoticed

Crash spikes and slow screens rarely show up in internal testing. Users find them first, on devices and networks your QA setup never covered. By the time ratings drop, the cost already shows in churn and support tickets.

04

When your vendor or team changes

Knowledge about an app often sits with a few engineers or one external vendor. When they leave, nobody knows how releases, certificates, and integrations work. Every update after that carries more risk.

How we maintain your mobile app

Our app maintenance services cover the full cycle, from taking over your codebase to running releases under an agreed SLA. We take ownership of stability so your team can focus on the roadmap.

Takeover and technical audit

We start by reviewing your codebase, dependencies, crash history, and release process on iOS and Android. You get a list of risks ranked by business impact and a plan for the first months of work. Knowledge about the app moves into documentation instead of staying with individuals.

Monitoring and incident response

Production monitoring covers crashes, app freezes, slow screens, and API errors across supported devices. Alerts go to engineers who know your codebase and its integrations. Each incident gets a fix by the priority agreed in your SLA and a root-cause note for the backlog.

OS and SDK updates

Before each new iOS and Android version reaches users, we test your app on the beta. We replace deprecated APIs and third-party SDKs on a planned schedule. Store policy changes go into the release plan ahead of each deadline.

Release management and CI/CD

Builds, tests, and store submissions run through automated CI/CD pipelines. Each release has an owner, a rollback plan, and a staged rollout where the stores allow it. Hotfixes go through the same process.

Continuous improvement

With application development and maintenance on one team, small features and fixes share one release process. Typical work includes performance tuning, accessibility improvements, and minor UI changes. Stability reports on an agreed schedule show what needs modernization before it becomes urgent.

Your ROI from our app maintenance

Lower cost of unplanned fixes

Lower cost of unplanned fixes

Planned updates cost less than emergency work after a broken release or a store rejection. Maintenance spend becomes a fixed line in your budget.

Stable ratings and user retention

Stable ratings and user retention

Fewer failures and faster screens protect the store rating users check before they install. Play's app has kept a crash rate below 0.03% over a partnership of more than 10 years.

Predictable release cycles

Predictable release cycles

Automated tests and CI/CD pipelines keep each release small and reversible. Your product team ships features on schedule while maintenance runs in parallel.

Lower security exposure

Lower security exposure

Outdated libraries carry known vulnerabilities that attackers can look up. Dependency updates and security patches on a set schedule close those gaps.

No single point of knowledge failure

No single point of knowledge failure

Documentation, runbooks, and shared ownership mean releases do not depend on one engineer. Staff changes on either side no longer stall delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Talk to us

What do mobile app maintenance and support services include?

Typical scope covers bug fixes, OS and SDK updates, crash and performance monitoring, security patches, and store compliance. You can add small improvements and release management to the same contract. At Miquido, we agree on the work list and response times with you in an SLA.

How much does app maintenance cost per month?

Monthly cost depends on the number of platforms, release frequency, integrations, and the response times you need. To calculate it, add up the work that recurs every year: OS updates, SDK and dependency upgrades, monitoring, and store compliance. Then add a buffer for incidents based on your crash history and user base. We prepare an estimate after a short technical assessment of your app.

How do you maintain an app?

Maintaining an app means four recurring activities: monitoring production, updating for new OS and SDK versions, fixing defects by priority, and releasing through a tested pipeline. Each activity needs an owner, a schedule, and documentation that outlives individual engineers. Without them, small issues pile up into technical debt.

How to choose a mobile app maintenance company?

Check how long the company has kept apps running in production. Ask for crash-rate data from real clients and for their process of taking over code from another team. Miquido has built and maintained mobile apps since 2011, including a partnership with Play for more than 10 years.
